Scientific journals published by natural history museums represent a unique tool bridging research, education, and public engagement. With its transition to an online-first model, the “Bollettino del Museo Regionale di Scienze Naturali di Torino” renews its mission: to become an inclusive and flexible platform. It aims to welcome contributions from young naturalists and researchers from emerging countries, with no restrictions on article length, ranging from taxonomic revisions to articles on museology and science communication. The journal will continue to enhance natural history collections as irreplaceable resources for studying biodiversity, climate change, and anthropogenic ecosystems and environments, while also lowering barriers to scientific publication through multilingual policies and dedicated support.
